"The riper the fruit, the easier it is to cut" I will never forget those words. Thank you Bob

Loved the watermelon cutting vid.. but I think using the same method for the cantaloupe would be better... make your flat side, cut off the ends.... cut in half and cut off the rind, and cube. You rock! Thanks for the help :)

Woohoo, just what i needed. VERY LITTLE MESS 😎 subbed

Great. Thanks. Sir. May. God. Bless. You. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I found a few seeds that started to sprout in my sink and I moved them to a little pot to grow. It was growing for a while but then I forgot to water it a few days and then it kinda died.... going to try to repeat the process to see if I can sprout another one in my sink... :-)

Not me sitting here thinking why tf would I wash the outside of it?…until he explains and makes total sense

Thank you!

Needed tp cut this just for my video...thank you

Thank you for washing it first. They've all been laying on the ground and need it before cutting into it. I use soap too, but I slice from the top with the grain - it cuts easier

Well, I did it this way for years until the knife slipped and I cut my hand. No more. I now cut the melon in half and scoop out all seeds. Now I place the cut side down on a clean cutting board and using my 6” knife, I cut off all the skin following the curve of the cantaloupe. I’m cutting away from myself and the skin comes right off in two or three inch wide sections. Bam! Then you proceed cutting into wide slices or whatever and then cut the other direction and you have chunks. I think you save more fruit this way and it’s far easier at least for me.

Rookie moves you don’t need a large knife for this, this is small knife job pal. Cantaloupe when ripe is nice and soft you can use a small butter knife to slide through and get every piece of cantaloupe needed for your hot summer picnic brother.

I got one of these for cheap but for pre cut chunks it's like 10 dollars. Get the same amount of food for more like why is it 10 dollars for one melon pre cut into chunks. I get if it was 1 or 2 dollars more but it's like 8 dollars more for pre cut is insane.

i gotta critique bud. you're telling people with unrefined knife skill to slice with the blade i'm directly at their fingers. really bad advice.

Did not Look safe, never cut towards your hand

This is NOT how you cut a melon into chunks. Ffs guy, do your own research before trying to teach something. You cut the ends, slice the rind off, cut in half, scoop the seeds, then cut into chunks.

slow

Sorry for this cutting method it's wrong, cut your cantaloupe and melon skins, the same way you cut pineapple and watermelon skins, I wasted 5 minutes of my time with this video.

Took forever, there are faster methods. 🔪 Your knife skills are questionable. #cookingfail #needsmorepractice

did you seriously waste 1.5 minutes showing us how to was it?

Thank you!
